A healthy mouth is a good indicator of your cat’s overall health, but many cat parents ignore their cat’s oral health. By the time they’re 3 years old 70% of cats are showing signs of oral disease, according to the Foundation For Veterinary Dentistry. While an oral exam should continue to be an important part of your cat’s annual wellness checkup, developing a daily tooth brushing routine can go a long way in preventing damage and disease. Since brushing a cat’s teeth can be challenging, here are some tips to make the experience as easy as possible for both of you.
Tips#01
Massage and handle your cat’s face
Before you even think about going near your cat’s face with a toothbrush you’ll want to get her used to having that part of her face touched and held. Take some time each day to handle and massage her chin and jaw. Continue doing this for a few minutes at least once a day until she becomes familiar with the act and is comfortable being touched in that way.Source
